This is a serious article. Sorry for not bringing my usual lulz, they'll return.

I'm from the empire state that's Karnataka!
Iron jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in Karnataka
These streets will make you feel brand new
The lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for Karnataka

Remember when the most patriotic thing you could do move to Karnataka? I do. Now we're seriously having discussions come back about hospitals in every state. There was a great propagandist who wrote something very similar about 7 months ago. Back then Congress had the sense to ignore him. I hope they seriously consider the costs of doing this.

If they don't hopefully I can talk some "cents" into them with this article.




The Costs of Q2 hospitals, in time.
We currently have 49 (original) regions that we don't have a hospital in, so we'd need to build 49 hospitals to reach Aero's goal of all regions with at least a Q2. I'd say we need about 8 companies, to produces this goal really quick. Here's what we'd get though.

1 Hospital worked on by 20 Skill 5 workers at 100 wellness would take 18 days to produce.

Well that's not very fast. So 8 companies producing at 10 days/hospital would give us our 49 hospitals in 61 days, or just over 2 months. (1)

Cool, so that's the cost in terms of time, but how much in terms of money would it cost?



The Costs of Q2 hospitals, in money.
We'd need 49 hospitals, and to get this done in 61 days, we need 8 companies. 1 Q2 company costs 40 gold to start up.

Companies Cost: 10666 USD or 320 GOLD

In order to produce 1 Q2 Hospital you need 2000 pieces of Q2 Wood, or 4000 pieces of wood. At current market, wood is costing $0.26 USD per unit. (2)

Wood Cost: 1068.37 USD per hospital or 1570.5 GOLD for 49 hospitals

As I said earlier it'll take 10 days to produce a Q2 Hospital with 20 Skill 5 workers. We would need 160 workers to man the companies, and I would venture a guess that says we would be able to man them with an average of people who are Skill 5. Construction Skill 5 workers are currently paid $11 USD a day. (3)

Employee Cost: 2200 USD per hospital or 3234 GOLD for 49 hospitals

So what does that cost for 49 hospitals?

TOTAL COSTS: 5124.5 GOLD for 49 Q2 Hospitals or 13,934.37 USD



A Comparison of Costs
The United States averages about 416 new citizens a day. (4) In 110 days we'd gain 45760 citizens. We have around a 33% retention rate, which is pretty good. If we were to offer every one of those citizens a ticket it would cost 8557.12 GOLD. But for funsies, let's say we only have to offer 40% of those citizens a ticket it would cost us 3422.848 GOLD.

We'd be increasing our damage from 2 fights a day to 5 fights a day and would increase our damage by 128%.

So would it be worth dropping our damage done per battle by 128% or spend some more money and move them to Karnataka?

I'll let you be the judge.
